Can someone explain how with web monetization we won't have microtransactions on the Internet as we do with games? i.e. I don't want to pay per article read, as that would take away from the unlimited nature of the internet, where for a flat fee to my ISP, I can read/watch/listen to whatever I want.
- matdehaast 6y agoThat is a great question and partly why there is valuing in having a Web Monetization Provider such as Coil. The job of the provider is to optimize and distribute the spend in a way that gives you the best experience. There is still much to be explored here but the basic premise is that the Provider basically makes micro-decisions for you so you don't have to.
